HAT 0R CAP. f

SPI-1lCIFICATIN- forming part of Letters PatentNo. 376,705, dated January 1'7, 1888.

Application lcd August 10, 1857. Serial No. 246,639. (No model.)

My invention has reference specially to furv caps provided with ear laps or muffs, and it consists in a'new construction of such ear-laps and a novel arrangement of them with reference to the cap.

I proposey to form in the substance ofthe cap, preferably between the youtside and the lining and just above the ears, pockets or recesses of sufficient size to allow the ear-laps to slide up into them and be completely hidden therein. The ear-lap itself, of any usual and desired shape and material, is'formed upon an outside frame of wire or other material,which will give a certain amount of stiffness and at the same time be somewhat of a spriugy na ture. To the upper edge of the ear-lap is attached a strip of heavy silk, satin, or like material, (usually of width equal to that of the ear-lap,)the opposite edge of which is secured to the lining of the recess at apoint about halfway up it. This strip or band, while preventing the ear-lap from becoming detached from the cap, does not serve to hold it in place either when down or when pushed up into the recess, this being effected bythe pressure of the head of the wearer againstthe slightly-resilient frame of the ear-lap. f

For full comprehension of myinve'ntion reference must be had to the annexed drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a View taken through the substance of the capland showing the recess and earlap down; Fig. 2, a similar view showing the lemr-lap yin the recess, and Fig. 3 the'frame of ear-lap. f

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. i y

shows the cap, in thethickness of 'which is formed the recess shown, B. VC'is the earlap, made on an outside frame, C; and D, the strip of silk or like material secured to the upper edge of C and to the side of the recess along the line b. l

Having thus described my invention, I beg to state that what I claim is as follows: l
